About
the Shelter...

Established in 1982, the Animal Rescue and
Adoption Society is a non-profit, no-kill cat shelter located in Denver,
Colorado.Society staff and
volunteers care for approximately 175-200 homeless and abandoned animals.Though the Society houses primarily cats, many of the volunteers foster
dogs and other animals in their homes.Over
the years due to lack of space and proper facilities, it was decided that the
shelter would be more useful focusing on cats.

The shelter is located in an industrial area,
less than five miles from downtown Denver.ARAS originally began in a garage, then relocated to its
present location where it has existed for approximately 11 years.ARAS is one of the only true no-kill shelters in Denver. The
